Dairy-Free Chocolate Pudding Parfait with Whipped Coconut Milk

October 4, 2014 This post may contain links that compensate me. Please read the disclosure.

I’m slightly obsessed with whipped coconut milk. Being mostly dairy-free (and gluten-free, and sugar-free…), it’s difficult to find many dessert options that I love. That’s why once I started making whipped coconut milk, I pretty much added to everything (except chicken, that would be gross). When I made this dairy-free, sugar-free chocolate pudding recipe, I knew I had to add in my beloved coconut. Adding the two together turned it into an amazingly delicious Paleo parfait.

Sometimes, my healthy taste buds don’t quite match the rest of the world’s, so my number one go to for taste testing, is my husband, who has quite a picky taste for foods. He left an empty dish, asked for it again and declared it his new favorite so it definitely passed!

Dairy-Free Chocolate Pudding Ingredients

This recipe is very easy to make and since it’s wheat, dairy and sugar-free, pretty much anyone can enjoy it. It makes a casual week night dessert or an elegant addition to a fancier dinner. I like to use a mix of stevia and xylitol in my dessert recipes as they most closely resemble sugar when used together, without the high-glycemic index. You can find the Now stevia I use here and the xylitol here if you’re having a hard time finding them in store. Feel free to play around with the recipe if you prefer a different type of milk (I prefer So Delicious sugar-free coconut milk that’s sweetened with stevia), thickener or sweetener.
